I have just read and signed the petition: “Egypt: Make Tweets, Not War”.
Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. We are trying to reach 10000 signatures – please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/tweets-not-war/

Once you have signed, you can help even more by asking your friends and family to sign as well.

The quest right now is this: Does the end always justify the means? If you’re in doubt, ponder it again for awhile…
The individuals with the reputation for getting their way through manipulation and coercion? Take them on. Someone needs to teach them a lesson 😉

Sometimes I wonder if I really value the happiness and gratitude I feel so often, or do I take these for granted. Being grateful has become so natural for me that I do not even recognize it, except for those rare moments when I ponder about everything that is happening in my life. Years ago I was not grateful for the bad things that were happening to me, and I wasn’t grateful when those bad things turned out to be good things in disguise. As time goes by all of us learn to appreciate the lessons that life is “serving” us, and the lessons we learn while overcoming hardships, and, than the gratitude is coming naturally and easily to us.

As to the happy moments – when we have these – we often would like to have more without taking into consideration that if every single moment in our lives was a happy one – we would not appreciate the happiness for what it really is. Life would simply become very boring, and all the beauty of the happy moments will simply vanish. We would not be able to distinguish what really happiness means. And only when we start seeing the truth and meaning of all the unhappiness and hardships we start valuing the happy moments we share here on Earth.

I’d like to close this rant with the following quote and to wish you a splendid week ahead while being always Fabulous…

“There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.”
Douglas Everett

There are songs that can squeeze your heart with their lyrics while the music caresses your heart and soul, and Rise and Fall happens to be such a song for me…
How does this song make you feel? Enjoy your week ahead and be always fabulous 🙂

Craig David – Rise And Fall lyrics

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It’s what they call,
The rise and fall (x2)

I always said that I was gonna make it,
Now it’s plain for everyone to see,
But this game I’m in don’t take no prisoners,
Just casualties,
I know that everything is gonna change,
Even the friends I knew before me go,
But this dream is the life I’ve been searching for,
Started believing that I was the greatest,
My life was never gonna be the same,
Cause with the money came a different status,
That’s when things change,
Now I’m too concerned with all the things I own,
Blinded by all the pretty girls I see,
I’m beginning to lose my integrity

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It’s what they call,
The rise and fall

I never used to be a troublemaker,
Now I don’t even wanna please the fans,
No autographs,
No interviews,
No pictures,
And less demands,
Given advice that was clearly wrong,
The type that seems to make me feel so right,
But some things you may find can take over your life,
Burnt all my bridges now I’ve run out of places,
And there’s nowhere left for me to turn,
Been caught in comprimising situations,
I should have learnt,
From all those times I didn’t walk away,
When I knew that it was best to go,
Is it too late to show you the shape of my heart,

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It’s what they call,
The rise and fall

Now I know,
I made mistakes,
Think I don’t care,
But you don’t realise what this means to me,
So let me have,
Just one more chance,
I’m not the man I used to be,
Used to beeeeeeeeeee

Sometimes in life you feel the fight is over,
And it seems as though the writings on the wall,
Superstar you finally made it,
But once your picture becomes tainted,
It’s what they call,
The rise and fall (x4)

Every year until now I had a list of my intentions, like to stop smoking, and to go at least twice a week for an hour of sport, and whatnot else. And being like I am – procrastination is killing all the good intentions mostly within 3 months, and some of the good intentions within a month. My ego is obviously very good at convincing me how ludicrous the good intentions are 😉 So, for this year I only placed the major goals on a list in my diary, and at the end of 2011 I will see if goals are more worthy to me than just “good intentions.”

I do wish all you (and myself of course) that every goal and intention of yours are achieved this year! Good luck and share yours here if so inclined. And I have decided that I will share only the goals that were achieved on the start of 2012.
